DWM 293: The Straight Story: Farewell, Great Macedon (Aug 2000)

Another fabulously evocative piece by Adrian Salmon, illustrating the never made story "Farewell, Great Macedon" by Morris Farhi, from 1964. A synopsis of the story, which would have featured the First Doctor, Barbara, Ian Susan, was published in issue 293 of Doctor Who Magazine, with text by then editor Alan Barnes.

A full-blown historical, the story finds the TARDIS team at thye Hanging Gardens of Babylon, at the court of the dying Alexander the Great (the Macedon of the title), and have to negotiate the conqueror's courtiers, all jostling for power at his demise...

Beautifully coloured in ink, this looks as fresh as the day it was painted, nearly 25 years ago!
